Challenge of the great outdoors

They presented Capt. Shockley with the latest design of the Marine Corps pewter birthday flask which they had filled with Jameson Irish Whiskey."We provide everything for the troops except alcohol and tobacco," Bunch said.By mid-afternoon, the group had caught about eight rockfish, and the party began slowly trolling.Carnes and Brown are on active duty, and were due back at their quarters Saturday afternoon.
